By 6 p.m. Saturday, the weather service had recorded a top wind gust of 48 mph in Amarillo, while gusts measured at just below 60 mph around Deaf Smith County, meteorologist Krissy Scotten said.

The wind carried loose dust across the Texas Panhandle, which resulted in half-mile visibility for drivers in some areas, but the weather service had not received reports of major property damage, Scotten said.

Things should be better today, she said.

“(Today) the winds will die down and it looks like by afternoon things will be nicer … (with) highs in the low to mid-50s, and then our focus changes … to the next system coming in,” Scotten said. “There is a good chance for the area to see some snow.”

Scotten estimated the Amarillo area could see 1 to 2 inches of snow Monday night and Tuesday, while some surrounding areas could see 2 to 4 inches.
